neil: personal responsibility. we will finout on monday because dick cheney is ere andl. but parker, the ceo, joining cheryl casone at noon eastern. don't miss it. melissa: robots and drawn sticking over the work force. jobs are vanishing. president bush's chief economic adviser tells us right now, because even when they say it's not, it's always about "money." ♪ think 7 percent unemployment is good news? at that rate, think about this, the way things are going, automated checkout, drawn deliveries and robots that can do just about anything. your job and millions of others could be on the line. there is a structural change going on in our economy as we speak. joining me now to break it down, former chief economic adviser to

president george w. bush and a hoover senior fellow. welcome to the show. you know, every time i see something new you know, amazon drones delivering a package, i see automated checkout at the cbs on the corner. i think that jobs have disappeared and are going to continue to disappear, and they are not coming back. am i wrong? >> you are not wrong. that is a correct observation, but it is n observation that is not unique to this particular time frame. you mentioned structural change, and there has been a structural change, and structural change has been occurring for a long time. if you go back to the 1950's, we have about 35 percent of our workforce is unionized, and manufacturing for the most part. and then if you look at the numbers, say in 2007 the number that just precedes a recession, we had about the same number of people, 14 million in manufacturing in the 50's, 14 million in manufacturing in

2007. but we were producing six times the number of goods in 2007 that we were producing in 1950. basically what that tells you is there has been a tremendous increase in productivity. where did those people go? for the most part those people went into service jobs. not all of which are low-paying, some of which are. we have seen a widening in the dispersion of wages. not because the economy has not been productive, but because the jobs that are now available require higher levels of pay. melissa: i am so glad you brought up the idea that a lot of those people went over to the service sector because just yesterday we were talking about this idea that there are so many service sector employees that are out there protesting right now about the minimum wage. in fact what we had one on the show. i want to play for you what he said and did his perspective and we will talk about on the other side. >> i actually had one other job which was minimum-wage.

we are talking almost 2012, i was working and cvs through the summer youth employment program. melissa: it sounds like you don't have a lot of work experience. i mean, you are the exact kind of person who comes in and gets that opening job in order to try and move up the ladder. so it is hard for me to understand what your complaint is. >> well, my complaint is this, the following, you know, i am currently supporting a family of six people, single mother and five younger siblings that i'm currently helping to support. i can barely survive on the minimum wage that i'm earning currently. melissa: here is what is perplexing. this is somebody who may be would have worked in a factory a while ago. those jobs and been replaced by

robots. now he's working in mcdonald's amount striking because it wants more money, there are machines coming along to help you check out at mcdonald's without anyone helping you. it is already happening and walmart, cvs. where does he go next to in that job that he has protested this not exist any longer? >> that's right. i think the big problem is that our economy has not done a good job as serving the people at the lower end of the educational distribution. those people need jobs and deserve jobs. unfortunately for the only way to solve the problem is not simply to legislate higher wages if we could do that you could ask, why don't we legislate wages that are $90 an hour instead of nine are ten or $15 an hour. obviouy we know why we don't do that. that would be impractical, and we would lose jobs at an enormous rate if we did something like that. you can't do that. what you have to do is reform the educational system, make sure that these people have the

skills that are necessary to compete in a modern economy. melissa: and do what? and do what? i want to run at a time. reck we channel them? are there enoogh jobs fixing the robots, fixing the automated checkout machines, programming them. is there the same number of jobs doing new things to replace the jobs that are being made obsolete by computers and robots and drowns and everything else? >> absolutely. go back to 2007. the and upon the rate was just over 4%. so all of those people that i talked about wd the move from manufacturing and services because productivity increased so much were working. they were working in service jobs. the issue is not whether they are working. the issue is whether they're working in jobs and a pang sufficiently high wages, and that has been a problem in the economy. not that they cannot find work but the jobs that they find are not jobs that are pain in the kinds of wages that they might have gotten in the past.

and so in order to do that we have to improve their skills that. sorry. go ahead. melissa: the jobs of the bottom will continue to pay less. the past five years we have seen median income dropped while we have seen the income of the wealthy go up. they have gotten richer as a result of the stock market. it does not seem like there is a near-term solution to this. last word. >> that's right, but it is not a gesture at the top. it is true at all parts of the incooe distribution in the educational distribution. the further you are away from the top in terms of education the worse you do. and so again this solution sounds like the tried one, a cliche, but it is the only way to solve the problem. we have to do a much better job at providing skills to the people at the bottom. melissa: i hope there are enough jobs to train those people to do so that we get everyone working. i am not convinced that is the case, but i hope it is. thank you for coming on. we love your expertise. >> thank you. melissa: and not the only one who believed out to be taken by

machines. tom sullivan degrees. >> the minimum wage by as nothing to do with the economy or economics. in fact, only about 2 percent of working people get the minimum wage. the biggest bulk of them are teenagers from a flawed homes. it is simply a political wedge issue so politicians on the left can say politicians on the right don't care about blow back. but at some point to things will happen. for all those protesting for a $15 a living wage you have something to consider. first, we taxpayers already subsidize the minimum wage with food stamps and welfare and housing and now health care. if you aren't too much you will start losing those benefits, which should be your goal. second point, at some point your boss will start bringing in machines. already there are key asset growth restores and home depots. i am kind of supplies fast-food restaurants had already replaced you with a kiosk. but it -- the technology exists and it is efficient.

america has always been charitable, but it never embraced an ounce. we celebrate people who rise from the bottom to make a success. that and the machines is why these protests will never work. melissa: a new call to double the gas tax. finally driving less and buying hybrids. the government wants to tax us as a reward. the details on that one. finally you can drop your iphone to your heart's content because this case is nearly indestructible. check this out. our latest installment. more "money" coming up. ♪

♪ melissa: from the u.s. to every corner of the globe, "money" has been flying around the world starting in germany where the government wants foreigners, like us, to start paying off to use the audubon. i you kidding me? a highway toll is expected to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the country, at is causing average for people in neighboring countries that right through germany just to get to other places really fast. so much for europe's open borders. over to china where the smog

levels in shanghai are so bad that flights in and out of the airport of being canceled. some of women at dangerous levels of air pollution on many cold-fired power plants and surrounding provinces. it is not so bad for some companies. those selling face masks, profits have skyrocketed. landing in canada where crack smoking toronto mayor robert ford has got himself a new gate. this time as a sports contributor on a u.s. radio station. giving his nfl picks each week on the aptly named show, which for it, sports junkie. that is the name of the show. it airs on nbc station. what a perfect fit that is. all right. we are damned if we do and damned if we don't to medleys when it comes to gas prices. the obama administration spin years telling us to drive less and the tower suvs for hybrids, and we actually did it. well, not me, but other people did. now we might be getting punished thanks to a proposed tax that

could raise gas prices and fill federal coffers. it is a case of the government on wild? absolutely phil flynn. my favorite economist, peter more recede. thanks to all of you for joining us. you know, so this is really driving me crazy. if you look at the stats crude oil production up 17% year-over-year. fracking like crazy. for the first time in nearly two decades we're producing more oil than we have imported. americans are driving almost 100 billion fewer miles. we have super high gas prices. we produced all of this oil and stopped dring. so prices went down. what is our report? the government will make up the difference with the tax. i can't believe it. are you as hysterical as i am? >> i am. i have a constructive suggestion we always get our tax to use the roads. we use the gas tax. back in the old days all the

stars at 50 miles to the gallon. if we will tax according damage people use the roads as according to how much gas to use which is what they're really proposing, the people with these high-mileage tabriz should have to pay twice the sales tax as someone with a gas guzzler. is the same where and tear on the roads. what really troubles me is how much they waste the gas tax money. we spend enough on the road, but it gets wasted because of federal money whenever there is federal money involved we have to hire unionized workers. those wages are so out of whack with the market price that we can never afford the roads. melissa: i don't know. uni have been covering this for ever. we always said the only cure for high prices as high prices. they were really high. we did everything we could to fix that, drilling more, driving less, doing all this stuff. the government comes in and picked my pocket anyway. >> i'm telling you. and every mile that we drive right now is being subsidized by the government. this is just another case of

taking money out of one pocket and putting it in another. one of the reasons why gasoline demand has gone down is not because everyone bought a hybrid. but part of it is because we are subsidizing bio diesel and ethanol. putting ethanol in every gallon. the government is actually subsidizingndustry, putting that into the gasoline, which means we are using less gasoline which means that we need more tax revenue. what is wrong with this picture? melissa::those two guys just introduced even more problems that madme more furious. i don't know. are you going to buy a lot on top of that? >> the other insanities we're subsidizing people to buy hybrid vehicles, electric cars command of that. we are paying people to buy energy-efficient cars can, of course, it does not raise enough revenue to pay for the roads now now we have to raise taxes on people who still have the old-fashioned cars. so thus begins the cycle. then government has to look at all of these unusual ways of

raising money like putting a gps in your car so that it can record the amount of mileage. then it will charge you for the amount of mileage that you drive. it is just crazy. melissa: unbelievable. and if they raise the federal gas tax as much as they want to from 18 to 33, the average person spends $100 p year on federal gas taxes alone. i thought that was low. i feel like it is higher than that, but this would make that $180. does not matter who you are. that is completely regressive. that does not seem like what the folks in washington has said thereafter. >> more than that, why do we have tolls on bridges. they keep electing the tolls. and then when the bridge is paid for this squander it on some social purpose. and think about all the money that we have started to sub systems. it is one thing to build them, but you have to seek out inefficieny the run.

melissa: wow. i mean, i thought i was the most irritated person about this. but peter clearly just tk my crown away. even more agitated about this than i am. what do you think? >> you want to get even more agitated. melissa: i'm starting to be sorry that i started ts. >> you have the whole weekend to get over this. melissa: go ahead. >> $80 billion in stimulus programs. that is what we spent with the obama administration. do you realize that infrastructure under obama has actually gone down by one-third? where the money go? that is what we want to know. melissa: infrastructure spending has gone down? >> we are actuallypending less on infrastructure.

i thought we were having all of this shovel ready projects that we were supposed to be doing. only 26 billion, i believe, of the 80 billion went toward infrastructure. the rest went to a lot of different types of programs that have not stimulated the economy, nor has this fix a lot of my bridges. melissa: what about you? are the roads and bridges crumbling where you are? have you just given up? i am not going to drive, not going to pay any more federal taxes. i guess we will just a taxing my bicycle. >> eleven washington dc. of course the roads are crumbling in the nation's capital. my big worry is that we are going to turn to something like a carbon tax because government is so desperate for revenue these days that they are looking at that as ne of the biggest tax increases in history. this going to be a cash cow for more government spending. i think that is the next thing that we are going to have to worry about. melissa: i inventethis segment

profited more than she contributed. and is one thing the san going to act -- i did this concert separately and i'm going to after the fact -- people came to see me. after the fact delegates in% minus the philippines. that would be huge. but to do something and to advertise it as by this and there is money going to the philippines to help these poor people but in reality she is giving a small percentage and then she is profiting of someone else's disaster,hat is what is so distasteful. >> here is what is distasteful, and she had stolen the money and not given any and turned around and said i give 10 percent of my income to charity everyone would agree that is flat out wrong. and so i think the 10 percent is not enough. melissa: working with this program for a long time consistently over the years a celebrity it gives charity, is their name to a cause a good thing. melissa: you did a great job. definitely. a tough part. the one-man was made to choose
